Cooking days

Ermmm.. When we firt reach this place, our meals look really crappy. I remember my first meal in Maastricht is just boiled pasta, with no sauce or anything. Thats because we arrived on a Sunday when all shops are closed and we don't have anything else in our bags that can be eaten. But even so, initial cooking period followed a concept of 'keep it simple, min the mess in my kitchen', so the food that we have is always very simple, nothing exciting. 

As time goes by, we started to experiment different things, like hamurgers, chicken rice, laksa, 'bak kut tea' and even teriyaki beef and  sushi recently. It jus take some practice and I am sure all of us can do it, just that whether you wanna do it or not. Some recipe may sound difficult, but can be quite simple when you actually get down to it. 

I think sushi is the most exciting one that we can have. A few friends just sit down at the table and start making their own sushi. Some will have sushi that really look lik
e sushi, while others may have theirs that look like a ball or 'popiah' with rice. You can also compete on who can make the best looking roll and whos got the biggest roll, blah blah blah, adding more fun to the dinner.



These are some of the fun food that we like to make in Maastricht. We have our favourite beef soup in the 1st picture and the burger in the next one. Personally, I like the burger better. Too bad, we seldom make fries because you gotta waste quite alot oil each time you fry, and I don't really like the idea of recycling the oil.
